making a circle of earth quakes of which constantinople seems to be the geographical center yet the centre has not been shaken iu the slight est degree reports which have been brought every day by arabs from the desert christians on their tours and sail ors on ships have treated considerable alarm here however and tome of the in habitants of tho city have made prepara tions for hasty flighl from sections where the buildings are put up closely great landslides have occurred which came tearing down the steep declivities with the water sweeping before them every habitalioii chios island samos meta liu and lasbos all a few miles off the western coast of anatobia in the argean sea were all severely shaken up and there was a large loss of life and proper ty on samos and lesbos while the other two suffered much loss the dispatches sent from here by the agent of the rueter telegram company about disasters have been meagre and : unsatisfactory those sent to the central j news were somewhat fuller but neither j have given any idea of the real extent of j the earthquakes and enormous damage ( to property resulting therefrom advices from smyrna say that all through anato bia the inhabitants have been leaving their homes and seeking places of greater safety that their fears were well grounded the developments of the past forty eight hours show saturday night shocks which have been of daily occur rence for the past fifteen davs became ; ' i quite severe and before daylight nearly ; all the people in the shaken districts had left their homes for the open country soon after the sun caaie up and the t sky became suddenly overcast and great . black clouds rolled up from the eastern horizon with great rapidity forming a complete inky canopy where there had been a clear blue there was a very sud den depression of the barometer and many animals and birds became alarmed and took quick flight then the vibra tion began to increase iu violence and frequency ten clearly defined

will have to be run the iron palisade surrounding the bar rocks on the shore is thrown down and the bricks themselves are very badly damaged hardly a human being is vis ible within the city a solitary arab groping about the narrow crooked streets as a friendless dog searching wearily for a morsel from the shattered kitchens are the only signs of life tents dot the hills about the city and in the population now find abode in the white-walled village there is no distinction between armen ians or greeks hebrews or christians all are huddled together promiscuously without regard to race the one idea be ing that of self preservation the loss of life in smyrna was not great nrobably " i not over 125 personsowing to the absence of so many of the inhabitants from the city and the precautions taken for in stant flight by those bold enough to stay until the last some 200 or 250 people were injured while making their escape but only a few seriously the destruction of property and life in the outlying country and in districts re mote from smyrna has been very large all along the western coast of the penin sular which presents as ragged an out line as any in the woi id aud in many respects

while one hundred and twenty-live more wero severely injured at mishit some twenty odd people were killed and double that number injured it is believed heir that the results on the western coast of

margaret was ! the house mother in a german home where money was scarce and plain food was not plenty a stranger had come along the street and stopped at the dorr and asked if he might have some supper with the family he was watching t lie yellow haired little girl who followed mar garet around which made her speak the sentence with which this story commences then she isn't your own child asked the stranger no margaret explained thnt she i â€¢ â€¢ , l was the child of a poor neighbor who | died a few weeks before leaving no thing for the little girl and no friends ' for liir to go to

were ten in all when supper was ready they all trooped in what a little army of them ! and how clean their little faces were their hair neatly combed and their patched and worn clothes look ! ing though each of them had been as careful as possible at the supper table each of them looking out for gretchcn she had the largest potato carefully peeled by margaret the mother's name-child ; melcher the fa ther's namesake put a bit ol butter on it though he ate none on his own the stranger saw all this and a great deal more though he seemed to be talking with the father and mother the next day a soldier in military dress rode up to the house and asked for the house mother and gave her a great solemn-looking letter which made her tremble as she broke the seal oh what do you think that letter said ? why that the man who had taken supper with them the night before was s pleased with the ten children and with gretchen besides that he decided to make them each a present of 100 which would be

margaret was ! the house mother in a german home where money was scarce and plain food was not plenty a stranger had come along the street and stopped at the dorr and asked if he might have some supper with the family he was watching t lie yellow haired little girl who followed mar garet around which made her speak the sentence with which this story commences then she isn't your own child asked the stranger no margaret explained thnt she i â€¢ â€¢ , l was the child of a poor neighbor who | died a few weeks before leaving no thing for the little girl and no friends ' for liir to go to so they had to take her in and can't you manage to keep her the stranger asked you have none of your own 1 suppose oh dear yes !' and she laughed over his queer mistake none of their own ! why there were ten in all when supper was ready they all trooped in what a little army of them ! and how clean their little faces were their hair neatly combed and their patched and worn clothes look ! ing though each of them had been as careful as possible at the supper table each of them looking out for gretchcn she had the largest potato carefully peeled by margaret the mother's name-child ; melcher the fa ther's namesake put a bit ol butter on it though he ate none on his own the stranger saw all this and a great deal more though he seemed to be talking with the father and mother the next day a soldier in military dress rode up to the house and asked for the house mother and gave her a great solemn-looking letter which made her tremble as she broke the seal oh what do you think that letter said ? why that the man who had taken supper with them the night before was s pleased with the ten children and with gretchen besides that he decided to make them each a present of 100 which would be
